Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bertrand, NE.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Bertrand where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.

Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
